I've no XP machine to do that with. I suppose that it could be done with an XP virtual machine, but if that is the case then I'm not going for it.

Sounds logical. I don't know the nitty gritty of how it works, so I thought that maybe there was no actually communication between the Fedora box and the printer itself, rather just documents going Fedora -> Print Server -> Printer and no facility for Printer -> Fedora communication (as a scanner would need).
